That's almost funny to me to hear people talk trash about H. From personal experience, I have done business with him for over 13 years and I've never been given a cause to complain about his products or his service or anything else.

Same, he has been awesome to deal with in my experience. Has always taken time to answer any questions. I want to say my first barrel was about 15 years ago or so. |

I returned 2 barrels that had been chambered with a chipped reamer. He said he’d refund the shipping costs along with the barrels. Nope. I ate the shipping both ways. He shipped 2 barrels and muzzle devices in the same box and I paid his premium shipping cost for each piece. Never again.

He uses (or was using) E.R. Shaw barrel blanks, so did Alexander Arms. It's a crap shoot if you get a good one.
I own a 7.62x39mm AR barrel that shoots very well and is 100% reliable, so zero complaints from me. |

Barrett used ER Shaw barrel blanks for their 6.8 barrels for quite some time.

The stainless 16” I have from him is 1/11.25” and shoots 1/2-.75” groups and cost well under 200 bones
I am and will be amazed The Alexander 6.5 G blanks I was told by Alexander when I got my 16” stainless fluted and 11”” stainless are Bergara from Spain They both shoot absolutely lights out even with Wolf steel Like 7 out of 10 rounds into 1” with the11” and a red dot only |

Although H and I have had a few differences here and there, overall he was very helpful when I needed it. He helped me launch the 277 Wolverine - provided me with a print and everything. So, even those few times he may have pissed me off a bit I still hold him in high regards for doing the "bigger thing" that really helped me out - he didn't need to, and I was all up in his inbox all day, every day for months.
Yes, he has pretty much retired at his place in the Keys and is letting Blackstone (also a good guy) take over the production/sales of "his" products. I can't speak for what he did here, or whomever he pissed off here, as I wasn't here for all of that. |

He’s just been shipping finished barrels from his house since he moved to FL. No machine work anymore. Not sure who does the chambering but probably gets them from Shaw and they chamber them also with his reamer design. Not a bad retirement gig.
If I was going to buy a 6.8 I’d go with Wilson Combat. They shoot exceptionally well. I bought 2 barrels and one needed polishing on the ramps and a touch up in the chamber. It wasn’t a big deal but annoying for reloading. They paid the tab both ways on both barrels. They even paid for 2 day shipping so I could use them for deer season. They may have replaced the one barrel but the PO in the box said polish. They shoot. Barrel I used on my friends build. Walked 3 for scope adjustment and then the top hole is 7. Cheap Nikon scope was a little slow in adjustment but it’s held zero since 2013.  Attached File |
